Some food has been takenand retained this morning , The patient iasitting with a slightly inclined head , consciousand clear of mind. Dr. Douglas cent for Dr.Hands. Dr , Douglas anticipates the end Curing the day or evening.12:20 : i ) , m. General ( irant's condition isreported unchanged slnca ! > o'clock , except agradually increasing weakness.2 r. M. Dr. Douglas just reported that thepatient haa just taken and retained a cup ofmill : and tbo physicians think that if therehnj not been a slight rally the past hour , thegeneral is at least holding his own ,2:15 : f. m. The members of tbo general's 'family and Dr. Newman are grouped in adarkened room near the eick inau , Observingevidences of their feelings the general said :* 'I do not want anjbadyto be distressed ohmy account. "3SO : p. m. Drc. Sands and Shradyhave just arrived by a specialtrain , which also brought U. S.Orant , Jr. , and wife. The newcomers repaired at once to the cottago. A singular oc-curreuco at the cottage has juit been relatedhy Dr. Plowman. At five minutes of 1 o'clockGen. Grant a > ked the hour of the day. "Onoo'clock , " spoke ono of thoionear him. Soonafterward the cottage clock chimed twelvestrokes , and the general counted them. Thenho wrote on a pad that ho observed the clockwas wrong and deairod to have it etriko thetight hour , which was done , and theinstance passed as ono moro of theremarkable episodes of the general'slater eickneis. There has been a reoccurrence -renco of hiccoughs today.I p. in. The physicians met at once withDr. Douglas In consultation after leaving thecottage where they found the general in acritical condition. No ono of the staff iswilling to predict anything beyond twenty-four hours , through which period it is deemedimpossible that the general can survive ,though the probability now is that much lesstime marks the limit of the general's life. Achnnfo for the worse was anticipated asthe day closed. The pulse is now over onohundred.At 10:30 : , however , it was stated by reliableauthority that the general waa in a slightlybettor condition than two hours ago.From the present condition , whichborders npon a lethargic state ,the uatient may quietly drift into finalconsciousness. During the afternoon the extremities of the sick man have baen cold andin tha visible symptoms are signs that natureputs out when death is chilling the powers.The general , as the night passes , soema to bosuffering no pain , though the lines of his faceare tensely drawn and the furrows of tbobrow are knitted as he lion upon the cot be-alde which the family are constantly watching. At 1 o'clock the general was not asleep.His bands and forearms were colder than twohours before but his feet werenot so much BO. His pulse and respirationbad not changed. The patient 'amind waa yet clear and comprehensive of theevents and utterances about him. Between10 and 11 o'clock Dr. Bhrady had accosted thegenpral and ho answered in a husky voice andpromptly. Stimulants were being uaod , butsparingly , and there waa an experience expressed by the medical authority about 11o'clock that the closing crisis may occureither at 1 or 4 o'clock to-night.At midnight Gen. Grant remains yet quietthough not asleep , The coming hour is beinganticipated with great anxioty. At midnightbottlea of hot water w ro placed at the general s foot to Induce warmth and mustard draughts were applied upon thestomach and breast to preserve the flaggingcirculation. Dr. S mds is resting at the hoteland Dra , Douglass and Shrady are ut thecjttago.1 a. m , The general remains In the atmoquiet condition. His pulao and respirationare unchanged , and there is a feeling that homay tide over the midnight season of weak-noda and until 4 a , m. .Hypodermics of brandyare being used ,2 a , m. The family h astir in the cottaRe ,though there no visible indications .that pointto other conditions than at the time of tboIan bulletin.a a. in Gen Grant is In n somnolent condition. Inspirations have grown shallow andthe general IB no longer able to expectoratebecause of his woaknesr , which ia Increasing ,There seems but little potsibility that tbopatient will survive the night.The early morning hours at the Grant cottage were cool and refreshing. The thermometer at 2 o'clock thia morning marked72 ° . this was the equable temperature maintain oil in the nick room while General Grantremained in New York and to it was thismorning added the Bweot odor from the pinetrees which bend o\or the cottage roof.Agentlo 'bree/o , sweet and delicious sweptmiles and mlloa down tha valley and from themounthlns , It stirred the curtains iu thewindow tear which sat the sick man nndfanned his face more gratefully than couldthe careful hands which were waiting near.Between 2 nod 15 a , m. the pray tint of another day crept up the horizon beyond thegreen mountain * , perhaps tno laat earthly dayof the Blck it nu bitting within tbo cottage parlor. About nnd all round the cottage waaatill and quiet , except the occasional twitterof Borne birds In the birches or pines. Occasionally Henry , the nurse , wandered out onthe plazit for fresh air and a glimpse of thnnight Once at about II o'clock Mrs. Grant ,attired In a looio g t n of white came outan the veranda , and teatrd hi-reell in one ofthe many deserted willow chairs which werescattered In group ) about the piazza. Tenminutes she sat motionless and looked awayto the east , where tno gray tint of anotherday bad grown to full promise.Her face rested upon one hand and eho wasevidently wrapped iu the folds of thought.Suddenly there cama a sound ot a laboring ,rattlioc cough from within. It was the general clearing the affected parts of his throat o !mucus , Mrs. Grant left the piazza quicklyand seated herself by the general' * side ,dlowly fanning the ick man' * face. Uhecoughing waa not nevero but incidental Col.Fred. Grant entered tbo room while thenurse wa aiding the general and took iplace beside and Unbind hu fatherThe morning had passed three o clockand the time had come to administerfood , The nurse touched the shoulder of DrDouglas aa be lay asleep on a couch in tinsame room. Ho arose and administered fooeand afterwards cleansed the general's throatAi tha phyniciau laid anda appliance again( Jan. Grant leaned forward in the chair amngniGe'l a desire tint the lamp should bebrought. The nurse brought the lamp andheld It at the sick man'n shoulders , and at tbmoment the general turned hla face towardtha light and upward to bid the nurse bringpad and pencil , His wish wasnot instantly understood , and turning atrllla farther the general repeated the wish ,This time hia low , husky whisper wai inter ,proted and the pad nnd pencil were brought.He wrote but briefly on the slip which hohanded to Dr. Douglas , who at once pansod itto Cnl , Grant , It wag a prlvato family communication , After writing the general resumed a half reclining petition. At 5 o'clockDr , Douglas wan a.'ousod anil sent a Mimmoiufor Dr. bands , and the general settled downIn the chair and dc7 d , Dr. Sands was summoned only tint \d might slmro the responal-b.lity nt tbo close of the niehtand not with thethought that any bid could ba rendered byhim or any ono during the day. Stimulantswere pi von the general Lut he grown weakerhuir by hour ,The morning Ia clear and mercury nt 11 thethermometer registered 80 degrees. All visitors are kept from the cottage and a Sabbathday quiet prevails about the spot. Dr. Now-nun is with the family , who ara nuletlywaiting the end , The general's mind continued coherent and clear. He sits much ofIho tlmo as ho did last night with his eyesclosed. U. S. Grant , jr. , ia expected to ar-rlvo this afternoon , when the familycircle will ba complete. Dr.Douglas has just left the cottage andsays the general's pulse la very weak and fluttering. The patient , once during the morning , attempted to write but succeeded in writing only the date , tlio effort being greater thanthe little remaining strength warranted. Hohas spoken at Intervals but hia voice ia veryfeeble. During the forenoon food waa takenand retained. With the declining day thephysician believes the general will also rapidlydecline.The development of the general's ' weaknessduring the afternoon waa not particularlynoticeable from hour to hour but between ItauJ U o'clock thora v\aa a clearly , though notviolently , marked increase of weakness. At8 o'clock it was possible to measure the pulaobeats but at G o'clock one of the physiciansstated that the puleo boats could not becounted IIPCMHO they were BO frequent andfetb'.o. During the afternoon the blood tidehad so quickened that it moro rapidly werethe system and exhausted the frail bisi ? , ifany existed , upon which might ba placern hope that tlm general might ra'ly. The point was reached at fio'clock when there was little to bo expectedfrom attempts to administer food. Soon afterG o'clock Hnirison came up from tbo cottageand told Doctors Sands and Shrady that Dr.Douglas desired to BOO them at tha cottago.Thither wont the doctors , lemaluing but ashort time and then coming again to thehotel.The family , beginning G o'clock , came tothe hotel to dinner in twos , the others remaining at tha cottngo in the mean timo. Thefamily dined In a private room set apart fortheir use at the hotel , in order , at thiscritical time , that they might bo secludedfrom tbo curious observation of many visitorsmd guests with whom the general's condition_ 'rom hour to Lour had been the topic of theday. The closed and silent cottage all daysuggested mutely the enactment of the lastcone in Gan. Grant's earthly existence.As the sun went down a cool breeze HkoJiat of last night sprang up and again laymenon the mountain endeavored to persuadebemselvea and others that a cool nlplit wouldiring renewed strength to the patient andialp him rally thi o'jgh the night. But suchvas not the opinion oi the doctors who wereprepared to attend tbo general's death-bed ati moment's notice or to wait through thelours and into the night for the end. Moroban that , they were prepared to findho patient nlivo In the morninp. At 7' 'clock , however , as the three physicians werejt dinner , Harrison came to the hotel andcalled Dr. Douglas , who went at once nndnlonn to tha cottago. Soon afterward anothernessenger from the cottage summoned Drs.Shrady and Sands , and they repaired to theottago , closnly followed by Dr. Newman.? fce exits of the doctors ar tte clergymanrom the hotel were , IIOR , ver , so quietlyfleeted that few know they had been summoned to the cottage. Arrived there , theyound the general evidently sinking. The-cneral seemed restless. "Would you liketo lie down , father ? " asked Col. Grant , whonoticed the restlessness , Tha general noddedind nt the same moment essayed to rlso unas-itted. But the effort waa too much for htm ,and ba Bank back Into the chair , and thecolonel and the nurse aided him to arise , andhen supported him to his bed , where hu waacarefully lowered to a reclining position andmrtly on hia face. Dr. Douglas then rolledhe chairs back , and one of the physicianslaa since remarked that the general has noweft his chair for the last time.The belief ii that the general baa at lengtham down to die. The family are all gatheredat the aide of the sick man and again Dr.Bowman , at about the same hour aa last nightand at Mrs. Grant's request , knelt beside thereneral and prayed. Heads were bowed andlilent tears were on the chocks of the men aswell as the women. The doctors sat somewhat apart and the family was near its fastsinking head. Then , after an hour , deathseemed little less rapidly gaining on -lthe man it has pursued just ninenontha to-day for it ia just ninemonths ago to-day that Gsn , Grant walkedInto Dr. Douglas's ollicu to seek hia profes itsional aid for the rancor that haa done whatFoes and war could not Then the doctorsand the clergyman strode out upon the piazzaand sat near the parlor window and JeesoGrant joined them at times , but the othermembers of the family remained in the sickroom and watched and waited , while the general answered "yea" and "no" to severalquestions.Time pmcd slowly indeed and at length ati15 ; o'clock Dr. Douelas loft the cottago."How is It , doctot ! " wai asked him ,"lie is dying , " said the gray hairedphyician ,"Will ho live an hour1 was asked again."Oh ! yea. nnd poasibly more , but he is passIng -Ing away1 was the response , and after a little tlmo at the hotel Dr , Dou laa returned tothe cottage. At U o'clock tht ) general's pulsewaa up to the point of 105 beats to tbo minuteand fluttering.After his rally , and about 9 o'clock , Gen.Tirant tank into a sleep that was describedby a witness as the peaceful and beautifulsleep of a child.

There was n para-raph sent Monday about the removal of anowa man by Comtnisiionor Atkins on ac-ount of an effort made by him to commitribory , which proves incorrect In some par-iculars. The facts ara that J , J. Franey , ofCouncil Binds , was lately appointed Indianrader. His father , 13. u , Franoy , has beenn town a good while trying to get an ap-itppolntmont as Indian agent. CongressmanJero Murphy told Congressman Fredericksbut Franey had offered him ( Murphy ) 85lOf Murphy could help him pet theippointment In the Indian service..Todericks repented this to CommissionerUklna , wbo rcmombcrod that the applicationf n man named Franoy had been before him ,, ho son being in bis mind , nnd ho at orcorave orders to the appointment division tolang the matter up till further orders , Ifi'r.uioy had not been appointed. The com-nlsilonor looked into the matter a little moro, o-day and found out that it was Frauey , theother , who was accused , and it wai the sonvlioin ho had appointed nn Indian trader ,The commissioner said that tf bo found any-hing dubious about J. ,1 , Franey'a reputationie shall remove tha young man at ouco , butbat if ho appeared to be nil right ho wouldlot remove him on account tf any quarrellotweou his father and Congressman Murphy.Young Franey was appointed on the recom-nendntion of Van Manning , ex-congressmanrom Mississippi , Speaker Carlisle and MayorVaughn , of Council lilutls. As soon as Commissioner Atkins got to the department today ho sent for Manning and told him whatie had board. Manning leplied thathero was not n particle ofeasou for suspecting the young man ofanything crooked ; that if the old man triedo bribe Murphy It was in order to get placeor himself , and not to get a place for his son ,and that Murphy and the senior Franoy hadtad a bitter quarrel , and Franey slappedVlurphy's face , oa F street in this city a fewweeks ago , and this was probably all theoundation that there was for the charge ofiribery. Atkins has taken no action In thecase yet , but he will have Franey thoroughlynvestigated. Ho will not punish him for anyIns his father may have committed , but hewill remove him Inatantly if he finda anyOOBOII to doubt the young man's honesty.The pieeidont to-day appointed the follow-ng postmaatere : William J.

The president thisafternoon appointed William H. Moffott , ofSTow Jersey , consul of the United States atAthens , and JnhnDelvin , of Michigan , consul, t Windsor , Out.WASHINGTON , July 22. After mature con-ideration , the president nnd cabinet haveeached the conclusion that the leases of landsn the Indian territory , held by cattlemen ,are invalid , and It haa b en determined toako steps to have them set aside. Gen.Sheridan has reported that no permanent sot-leraent of Indian territory can ba effectedvhile the cattlemen are in possession of tbolest landa , and it is the intention of the presi-lent to remove tbo distributing element andoservo Indian terrltoiy for the exclusive occupation of the Indians. The method of procedure has not yet boon determined. A presl-lentlal proclamation may issue , but It is regarded by well-informed persons as moroirobable that the action will bo begun In theJnited States courts of the west division oftaneas , having jurisdiction over the territory ,coking to a declaration of the invalidity ofleases.The following promotions have been maden the scientific force of tbo geological survey :I'homas C , Chamberlain of Wisconsin , geologist , from 83.0CO to § 3,600 ; Charles A.

During theay the animals are soon In great abnn-anco floundering about the rocks nearho Cliff IJouao , but toward night theyIsnppear and in immense bands flock In-o thu bay through the entrance at theolden Gate. The fishermen usuallytort out about 4 or 0 o'clock in tha af-ernoon to sot their nets and do tlio groat-r part of their work between that hourml midnight.

July 22. Kx-SecrotnryRobeaon passe J through Boston to-day , andduring hia brief stay was seen by n Journalreporter , who asked him to speak of tlio failure of John Reach and Its causes. His timewas too short for nn extended interview , buthe expressed his Ideas of the subject briefly."It was what mi ht have been expected , " huanid ; "in fact , what must have happenedunder the circumstances. Roach , from themagnitude ol his transactions , HJO compelledto carry on much of hia budnoss on credit ,and when the United States government sotitself against him his credit was gone , and hown driven , iu Belt-defense , Into bankruptcy.Roach's position as a business man bos formany years been wonderful , when It ia considered that ho madaIt Rololy by Ids own exertions. What Roach's roeourcoa nro nojlliora , of course , can know ; butho always appeared to bo a wealthyman , and no doubt was whatlie eucmod. Only the force of circumstancesboa put him into the present position. Whentht whole question ia summed up it amounts , .tote thla , that by breaking him down it is hoped * *to hasten the introduction of free ships. Hoaltvnys had been opposed to letting in shipsfro of duty and naturally haa had free traders and tariff , revisers agalast him andthrough the navy department they have apparently crushed him."Thoro is prevalent siisapprebcnsion , " continued Robsson " ', "concerning Hoach'a connection with the navy department daring theyears : I waa its secretary , The fact is , considering Roach's.facilltise , ho had two of thebest yards in the country , he did not have hiashare of the work that Traa coatrncted. Whenfour double turrotted monitors woreconstructed- Roach "had only one ,the Miantonomob ; another wentwont to Cramp , the third to Hunt and Hol-lin < s'BWorth and the fourth was built in California. When the engines for tha eight sloopsweio to ho constructed Roach did not bid forthem , Tha Atlantic works of Boston put inthe lowest olfrr , but it was for only two. Inlils dilemma , Roach , who was approached ,sail : "I don't want this work , but it no onoelse will take it at that price , I will. " Thework was offered at the figures named toother concerns , and all ofit taken by them.In those eight years Roach built more thanem hundred iron ehipt , not moro than five ofwhich were for the United States. In fact ,but a small percentage of his work has overbeen for the government , "Che" Greatest jfodlcftlJriTimph of tie Age ISYMPTOMS OF AIorc ofnrpctltt , Iluirrli coitl ve , Tain InUio hcnil , with a dull ennntlon In ; thi6ncU pnrr , 1'iiln undrr tlio rJiOBJiIrr- ,Mmle , J'ullncjs after eating , wltJinill -Inclination to exertion of boJy oi nilnil ,Irrltnlilllly of temper , /ow iplrltti , rrlthn fnclinuof havlnir nrsloctcil i.on e duty ,WcftrincBN , l22lnc'Ai ) & , I'luttcflivz nLticUuart , Doti boforollie nycii Jlt.niluchnuv r the rlffbt eye , ItmtlconiMa , withUtful drenniH , lllclilr coloro-l U ; Ine , am ) ICOWSTIPATIOP/j. /TUTT'H X'lLr,8 are cspecmU y ntlaplcd.to euch eases , 0110 doao c Hoc la aucli u fc "hnnKiioffcnllnprastonatonliht uosulTsrnr ' ,They Ilicrcmo tlie AplietlJe/ cauno thehmly to Tiito oi t'leHliithm tlio nysU'm K 'ciourUlicil.nml hytnolrTouts Action on .Iho , , , , , , JUneitlve . , . , , OrganIlt-it tr.'ltiiulHeru- -i. i i > ri tifin. .1 I ntiirlay St..tV.V.'1 w& Ii O w * Hunmu j rp u Ban( JUAT llAiit or WmsKiW changed to 11CLQSSV IILACK by a slp. lu application ojthis DTK.
